Abstract :
The tritium breeding ratio and activation of Sn in fusion blankets using Sn-Li as the coolant and breeding material were investigated. A series of 1-d and 2-d neutronics calculations were performed to assess the tritium breeding ratio. The contact dose rate and decay heat values were obtained from the activation calculations
